I smiled many times while reading this but particularly how Marshall had recently created an AI clone of himself, training it on all his articles, his book and podcasts and teaching it to mimic his own voice, to share wisdom with many. Of course he did! https://t.co/qObIUkZrPN

"Babe Ruth once suffered the humiliation of having the great Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators throw three straight fastballs past him. He asked the umpire if he had seen any of the pitches.

I'm honored and grateful to share this award with such an outstanding team. We hope it shines a light on the millions of people who've been harmed - and that it puts wind in the sails of all those working to fix this broken system.
